Brother Odd - Odd Thomas, Bk 3 - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Dean Koontz, David Aaron Baker (Narrator) No one could have imagined Odd Thomas ever leaving the perfect quirky comfort of Pico Mundo, least of all Odd himself. The little desert town that nurtured Odd all his life is the locus of everything he holds dear -- his loyal friends, his ghostly confidants, and the place where he loved and lost his soul mate, the irreplaceable Stormy Llewellyn... more ». Yet leave it he has, to embrace the solitude and peace of an isolated monastery high in the western mountains as he tries to find a way to live fully again.
But Odd has a knack for finding himself in the path of trouble no matter where he goes - even among the eccentric monks in their sanctuary and with the King of Rock 'n' Roll at his side. For a killer is stalking the ancient holy halls, and Odd is about to encounter an enemy who eclipses any he has yet encountered.
I am listening to this Dean Koontz series about Odd Thomas - the unabridged version. This time Odd has sought the shelter of St. Bartholomew's Abbey, where he is seeking peace and quiet to reevaluate his life after the misfortune that he has encountered in the previous two stories. The brothers and nuns at St. Bartholomew take care of disabled and unwanted children. I found that Dean Koontz showed a lot of compassion and understanding in the way that he described how Odd viewed and talked to the children who lived there. I liked the story and the characters. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, ODD HOURS.
